Shattered Hearts
(2026)Knox and Wendy's Story
(The first book in the Shattered Love series)
A novel by J E Parker
The plan was simple: marriage on paper, separate beds, no feelings involved.
But my fake husband was never good at following plans—especially mine.
Knox Winslow is a former Navy SEAL turned small-town single dad, with a jawline chiseled from stone and a personality to match. Brooding. Blunt. A little broken in the same ways I am and just as skilled at hiding it.
For years, we've been fighting the heat between us with sarcasm and lingering stares.
But when tragedy strikes and the wreckage of my past resurfaces, it’s Knox who offers an arrangement I can’t refuse: a marriage of convenience to protect both our daughters and save my family’s legacy.
No emotions or expectations. Completely uncomplicated.
Until sharing one bed tosses uncomplicated right out the window.
Knox's whispered ‘my wife’ in the dark makes me forget this isn’t real, and the way my secrets drive him to hold me closer blurs the boundaries we’ve set. But it's when his heated touch and demanding kiss become the only things that help me breathe, that I can’t keep pretending I don’t want more.
The moment I admit that, my not-so-fake husband makes one thing clear...
What's his, he keeps—and I've always been his. Shattered heart and all.
Genre: Romance
